Wheatgrass Juice Nutritional Analysis
Science does not possess the tools to quantify the power
of raw / living food products; however, it does provide
the best comparative tools we currently possess. At this time, over 3,800 nutrients have been identified in
food with countless more unidentified nutrients. Wheatgrass
juice is well regarded because it contains a small amount of
a broad spectrum of nutrients. When consumed as a fresh
or frozen juice, it is raw, living and highly bio-availability
because the juicing process breaks through indigestible fibers
and releases their contents. Raw / living foods hold three
advantages over processed supplements:
- Raw foods contain a broad spectrum of identified nutrients
- Better still, raw foods contain thousands of unidentified
nutrients because they have not been heated, cooked, dried,
powdered, oxidized, canned, irradiated, pasteurized or bottled
- Most bio-chemical reactions are complex and need several
ingredients to occur. The optimal fuel for your body
is more likely the combination of many nutrients rather
than a large amount of a single nutrient.
